- TV judge Rob Rinder has paid tribute to his “beautifully flawed” and “loving” father David, who has died aged 73 after living with Lewy body dementia.
- Sharing photographs on Instagram, Rinder wrote in the caption: “We were very different men. I loved opera and all its drama; he loved Tottenham and cigarettes.”
- Rinder added: “I never once doubted his pride in me. When I came out he responded with magnificent indifference: I was still his son, there was nothing else to discuss.”
- The 48-year-old praised the work of charity Jewish Care which looked after his father, and was “a place where dignity and tenderness were practised every day”.
- Rinder described Lewy body dementia as “poorly understood, frequently missed and desperately under-researched”, adding: “Please learn its name, learn its signs and if you can, support the work to change that.”
